Paul McAuliffe (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Taoiseach for the commitment he has shown in dealing with some of the difficult issues in the community of Ballymun that arose further to the recommendations from the Ballymun - A Brighter Future report. I know he has more work to do on that and he is due to visit the constituency and meet public representatives. A key element of that is the delivery of housing. We have 19 sites in public ownership with 28 ha of land which provide a great opportunity to deliver a mix of housing for a community that really deserves and will benefit from that investment. I am talking about public investment in public housing. Working with the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, will the Taoiseach continue to ensure Dublin City Council, which owns that land, shows ambition to deliver the type of housing the Government wants?
